Hey there. It is summer! What are you reading? What should you read? What am I reading?

I am finishing (well, rewriting) my new YA book, which doesn't have a title yet. Scroll down the blog for more on the Write Faster project. To that end I am reading and re-reading watching stuff that seems somehow similar or related, including:

Tara Altebrando's The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life, which is all about this enormous scavenger hunt. I love a book full of hijinks. Tara's website is all updated with fun stuff relating to her new book and her Pinterest board for the book is super fun.Libba Bray's The Diviners, which I have an early copy of. Nananananannananana.Rachel Cohn's Beta, also an early copy! (I better stop gloating but I can't really.)Louise Rennison's Withering Tights, which is about drama school, just like my own Dramarama. So you know I'll love it. Also, it's Louise Rennison. I always love her.

About the Amazon Links

The thumbnail images of books and albums on this site connect you to Amazon.com -- but that's because Amazon and my web service provider have a partnership, so it's extremely easy to put images on my site.However, I don't get any kind of kickback if you buy any of these items and I don't endorse any particular bookstore over any other.
